With a nod to our favorite Gazetteers, the straight-line distance beginning in Pine Cove and extending to:

Footnotes ...

<1>Our distances are not driving distances, but are calculated as a 'point-to-point' distance. A straight line distance ignores things like rivers, canyons, lakes, et cetera - it's truly a line from Point A (ie- Pine Cove) to Point B. In other words: 'As the crow flies'.
<2>While we have tried to pick reasonable speeds, the rate of travel is very theoretical - obstacles like fences, hills, lakes, river crossings and rest stops have been ignored. When we say 'Days' of travel, we're assuming 8 hours of travel per day.
<3>The shortest line can be visualized by stretching a string on a Globe from Point A to Point B - this is known as a Great Circle Route. Where you might expect the shortest route from Pine Cove to the Middle East to be East and South, the Great Circle Route actually lies to the North and East.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in Pine Cove. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 32.4280, Longitude: -81.7748       In this case, the coordinates for Pine Cove have been provided by the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS).
<4>The calculated bearing (or angle) to Jerusalem is 310.704 degrees.
<5>The calculated bearing (or angle) to Mecca is 305.706 degrees.
<6>The calculated bearing (or angle) to the Vatican is 308.629 degrees.
